Variations & Tips
For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of butter before cooking. If you prefer a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes along with the salt and pepper. You can also substitute the fresh dill with dried dill if that’s what you have on hand, though fresh herbs always bring a brighter flavor. For a complete meal, toss in some sliced onions or carrots to cook alongside the potatoes.
